As a professional weaver, I'm in a constant state of changing what's on the loom: planning a project, dyeing yarn for the project, warping the loom with that new yarn, weaving, finishing, and so on. Blogging is a way for me to share the process, and a way for me to keep track of what I did when.

A Busy Weekend

DH and I exhibited at a food/wine/craft beer event sponsored by Sunset Magazine called "Savor the Central Coast." Everything being served was from local producers, and a small Artist Village including work from local artists and arts groups was featured.

The weather was ungodly hot - a high of 100(F) on Saturday, and 98(F) on Sunday. Drinking wine in hot dry weather isn't always wise, but fortunately most attendees consumed as much (or more) beer and specialty waters and fresh juices as they did wine, and thankfully there were no "not a pretty sight" occurrences.

One booth that got a lot of attention was parked directly opposite our booth (note the signage on the side of the truck). I suspect that more selfies were snapped in front of that truck than anywhere else on the premises.

A bar was set up on the far side of the truck, where the brewmasters were pouring small tastes of
several craft brews, including a very respectable IPA (India Pale Ale).

And a good time was had by all. Yours truly came home with sunburn around the edges...

About Me

I am a professional weaver, specializing in complex weaves using fine threads. Most of my studio work consists of scarves, shawls, and wraps woven on a 48-inch, 24-shaft computer-assisted AVL dobby loom or wall art woven on a 48-inch, 1,440-heddle AVL jacquard loom. I exhibit and sell my work through high-end retail craft shows such as the Smithsonian Craft Show, the American Craft Council San Francisco show, and several smaller regional and local fine craft shows.
